A bus driver in Milwaukee, Wisconsin is being praised as a hero for stopping her bus when she saw a young child wandering near a highway overpass last month. Irena Ivic saw the infant walking barefoot wearing just a diaper and a onesie on a frigid cold December morning and brought the child into the bus.

"I couldn't believe that somebody left the child on the street," Ivic said during a ceremony honoring her for her actions.

The child was reunited with her father, Hasan Ali Abdul Kasim, who told Fox6 that his wife, who suffers from mental illness, brought their daughter to church and forgot about her. Officials said they do not plan to press charges and are glad that the girl is safe.
